ESSB is just dreadful and like in Germany is probably not legal in EI where our rules seem to define SSB as 2.7 Khz or less . However is the k3 capable of ECW (enhanced CW)? I would like some nice wide clicks and a 'phat' rough tone to help me keep some space around me in a contest and stand out in a pileup. TNX UR 593 ;-) 73 Brendan EI6IZ
